LifeStraw  Go Series 1 L Water Filter Bottle - 33.8 fl. oz.

It's nice being able to have a water bottle that also acts as a filter. Instead of wasting bottles and using a separate filter this combines them which is nice. The straw is not hard at all to suck water from which is something I thought might be an issue. It's very lightweight and isn't very big would definitely recommend.

We bought two of these. One works great, the other is missing the rubber gasket around the lid. Leaked all over. Not really sure how this happens it's the first time they were used. We went to another country and ended up with %50 usability. Pretty disappointed. When all the parts are there is works great.

I recently purchased two bottles hoping to use them in lieu of plastic water bottles. The first bottle leaked continuously, and the second bottle's water flow is super slow. I followed the instructions prior to use, and attempted to troubleshoot after use, but still - super disappointing. Will be returning these to REI.

I felt safe drinking water from any source in Sierra Leone, and did not get any illnesses. It was great to be free of concerns about rationing my water when I was in the bush, and not have to boil water or use nasty- tasting purification tablets.

I have been inseparable from this bottle while traveling through Bolivia. I brought nearly the entire LifeStraw product line with me and while each and everyone of the products has been immensely valuable and appreciated by everyone in our group, this water bottle is always within a few feet of me. I carry it in a neoprene water bottle holder with a carabiner to make it easy to hold and strap to my backpack. Have grown to love this bottle

since i started hiking, i became fascinated that water filters can remove microplastics. i wanted to have this in my every day life, hence the life straw water bottle. i have been drinking lots more tap water since then and saving money on purchasing water. i also like the reduction of plastic in this whole process too!! cons: 1. i’m not sure if it’s all straws, but it definitely takes some effort to suck up the water from the straw. i convince myself im getting a saw line. 2. it’s not an easy process to clean. i looked up on the lifestraw website and it’s like a 2 step process to clean with two different products…tbd on if this outweighs not having plastic in my system bc i am lazy.

I purchased a lifestraw go 1lt water bottle after reading all the glowing reviews. I’ve previously used lifestraw while hiking, with no issues and the bottle seemed like a no brainer. What an expensive mistake. The water tastes disgusting. Foul. Plasticky. The water tastes like latex smells. I’m not joking. The first taste made me vomit. And that was after cleaning the bottle, lid, mouthpiece, and prepping the filter as per the instructions. So I cleaned, rinsed, and tried again. Still foul. Still gag worthy. At least I didn’t vomit! Several cleans, rinses, and different water later, and it still tastes foul. Sorry guys, this is a no from me. And these things are EXPENSIVE as here in Australia. A big let down.

I'm sure it filters the water, but the straw is AWFULLY hard to suck through. Enough so, I had to return it.

Honestly I wanted to love this bottle, unfortunately already had to replace it. While the filter/straw is very innovative I had some issues that made me leave this review. For my water-bottle the cap handle piece would not tightly screw on, and became loose to the point where it would just fall off and drop the bottle while walking or carrying from the handle. Dropping the bottle and water splurting everywhere in the gym is obviously very embarrassing. Hopefully the cap gets a redesign because i love the idea!

It is not practical. Leaks with change in air pressure or water temperature.
